Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming red teaming by automating and optimizing offensive cybersecurity strategies. AI-powered red teams can rapidly conduct reconnaissance, identify vulnerabilities, and execute complex exploits with unprecedented efficiency. Machine learning enables adaptive attacks that evolve in real time, emulating the behavior of advanced persistent threats (APTs). Furthermore, AI enhances social engineering techniques, generating sophisticated phishing campaigns and leveraging deepfake technology for deception. While AI-driven red teaming improves the realism and effectiveness of security testing, it also introduces significant ethical and security concerns, including the risk of adversarial misuse. This study explores the role of AI in offensive security, its applications, associated risks, and the emerging challenges of AI-driven cyber warfare.
